Vasco da Gama and Goias return to action in the Brasileiro Serie A when they square off at the Estádio São Januário on Thursday.

Both sides find themselves on the wrong end of the table after a poor start to the season and will head into the weekend in search of a morale-boosting result.

Vasco da Gama were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Internacional last time out.

The Vasco Cruzmaltino are currently on a five-match winless run and are without a win in nine consecutive outings, claiming three draws and losing six since April’s 1-0 win at Atletico Mineiro.

Vasco’s poor start to the season has been owing to their struggles in defense, where they currently hold the division’s third-worst record with 19 goals conceded already.

Elsewhere, Goias failed to find their feet as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Fluminense.

Armando Evangelista’s side have now gone three consecutive games without a win, losing once and claiming two draws since a 2-1 victory over Paysandu in the Copa Verde on June 1.

With eight points from 10 matches, Goias are currently 17th in the Serie A table, two points and two places above Thursday’s hosts.
